Regarding "tamiser la vie", I really don't think he means "t'amuser". The expression "je m'amuse" or "on s'a bien amusé", was just way too common for him to have mispronounced it.

On second consideration of "fleurer", Probably he really means "fleurir" but just pronounces it "fleurer". Since our language was not written, there were many changes in verb endings and pronunciations like that over time. As far as "piétonner", I really don't ever remember hearing this word before now. But the context of the story just gives it away.

This translating/transcribing is fascinating stuff.

Le CD que je possède des contes de M. Marcotte, m'a été donné par une amie Nouveau Brunswickoise. On ne peut pas s'arrêter de rire quand on les écoute.
